Sauk

Approximately 9,000 cfs at the DARRINGTON gauge. AW says 'runnable' but that's based on the gauge below the confluence of the Suiattle. This flow was heavy and were many holes. First rapid, really, is the one called 'gumdrop' or 'gums', and it has large hole in center where the big white rock usually is. Second rapid, called Jaws, has a very interesting set of problems at the bottom right. It's read and run but complex and there's some significant consequences. Scouting jaws is easy from the right side but you have to wade the channel. If you run the Sauk at high flows there is a left sneak in Jaws which is quite easy... At the bottom you'll go between or to the left of two harmless rocks. The right run is still there but the consequences of running the 'demon seed' hole could be severe.

By the way, there is no longer wood in Whirlpool at any flow level. It is gone.
